The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG II | Art is a fast full-frame prime for mirrorless bodies, the successor to the 2019 original and still one of very few 35mm lenses with an f/1.2 aperture. Sigma cut the body size by roughly 30% while claiming better sharpness wide open, and it adds strong control of chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare plus reduced focus breathing for video. It suits available-light shooters, event and wedding photographers, and video users who want shallow depth of field from a wide-normal view. Against f/1.4 and f/1.8 35mm rivals it is bigger and heavier but buys an extra stop of light and softer bokeh; the trade-off is bulk and a premium over those slower lenses.

Owners of the first-generation lens describe the DG II as a clear step forward: smaller and lighter in the bag while sharper at f/1.2. Reviewers single out the bokeh and coma control, and video shooters note the reduced focus breathing. Most complaints center on weight and the price gap to slower 35mm primes.
The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG II Art is a 35mm f/1.2 lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It succeeds the 2019 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art and is about 30% lighter and 20% shorter than that lens. A floating focus design lets the lens groups move independently, which reduces the weight of each group.
The optics use SLD glass and four glass-molded double-sided aspherical elements to correct axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare. The lens is designed to render sharp in-focus areas and large bokeh that suppresses color bleeding and double line bokeh. Its focus group arrangement and aspherical shape minimize focus breathing, which keeps the field of view steady when the focusing distance changes. Flare and ghosting are addressed under all conditions of incident light.
A dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system drives each of the two focus groups with its own linear motor for fast, quiet autofocus. The lens has a dust- and splash-resistant structure, which is not waterproof, and a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element. An AFL button can be assigned different functions on compatible cameras. The aperture ring has a lock switch and a click switch that changes it from clicked to declicked. The lens is made and assembled in Aizu, Japan, with parts of aluminum and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), a polycarbonate whose thermal expansion is similar to aluminum's.
